Re: Galaxy S4 Active Screen Replacement JUST GLASS

Re: Galaxy S4 Active Screen Replacement JUST GLASS

Just so you guys know... The outside glass is the digitizer. It is not like the regular S4 that has glass on the outside. I did not have luck replacing mine. I ended up breaking the lcd because I rushed it. I ended up buying an assembly so I have a new digitizer if someone want is. If not they sell on amazon and ebay for about $50-$60.

I managed to separate the broken glass/ digitizer from my active and tested with new digitizer. Display itself and digitizer works fine, but with the digitizer came of with some kind of "polarized" layer and the screen is just white. When looking high angle you can see that the screen and touch panel is working. I have to study what was that layer and can it be replaced. S4 amoled panel with loca is much easier to separate than Active TFT panel attached with oca sticker.

If anyone does know of the steps to get it off that would be great.
